France receives remains of Napoleonic general from Russia: Charles-Étienne Gudin is back home. Or, rather, the remainder of him.

And in a related story on the impact of Napoleon on history, I found this gem:

"It was disturbing to learn about Napoleon in school," [Napoléon Nguyen] told me. "I was quite a shy kid, but it was important to learn where this name came from. I think he did a lot more good things for France than bad. And I feel lucky not to have been named another controversial character, like Attila for example."
